Thanks for this, Philip. I do appreciate that allowing rich text of HTML composition would be a significant amount of work (though, I'd argue, a necessary thing to do, given that the competition now has this functionality).
However, a simpler solution would simply be to allow the use if HTML tags in the signature field. It would then be easy to insert images and provide more formatting, for those of us that need this functionality. -- Sent from my smartphone On September 14, 2016 1:08:47 AM GMT+01:00, Philip Whitehouse <[email protected]> wrote: > > >On September 14, 2016 12:06:34 AM GMT+01:00, Greg Troxel ><[email protected]> wrote: >> >>Gary Wood <[email protected]> writes: >> >>> I need to add an image to my email signature.
